This is a project car I have been slowly working on over the past few years to eventually compete in NASA Spec Miata. Unfortunately I am moving out of state will no longer have space to store it. As it sits, the vehicle is a reliable and very nimble track car, although you shouldn’t expect to be driving down any Corvettes or GT3s. Over $16000 purely in parts and fab work. <10 track days on chassis in current configuration.
